Worth your time

There is something real in it. It may still carry a wrong number, and the note says so.

The clip

The caption, as Lan 🌊 AI startup friend wrote it on TikTok

It plays from TikTok, not from here. Nothing loads from them until you press the button, so reading this page sends them nothing.

Why it is graded that way

A pointer to the Princeton GEO paper (Aggarwal et al., arXiv 2311.09735). The paper does say GEO techniques can lift visibility in AI answers by up to 40%, and that results vary by topic. Adding citations, quotations and statistics helped; keyword stuffing did not. The clip’s 132% figure is not in the paper’s abstract, so do not repeat it. Worth your time for the pointer. Read the paper itself.

Checked against the original clip and, where it makes a factual claim, against whatever that claim leans on. If I have this wrong, tell me and I will fix the row and say what changed.
